Robots Radio. Games, lore, stories, community. Just press play. Welcome to the Fallout Lorecast, the podcast that explores the boundaries of our knowledge about the world of Fallout.
Wastelanders and Vault Dwellers, welcome back to the Fallout Lorecast. This week we've got our patrons, and we are going through the teaser trailer for Season 2 of the Fallout TV show. We meant to do this last week, but I was taken out within an hour of us actually starting this by a migraine, so I apologize for no episode last week. But I got better, and we've got a bunch of our patrons joining us.
We're going to be going through the video and basically pulling it piece by piece and discussing things, pointing things out that we notice, and there's a lot. There's a lot here, so get ready. And if you want a visual version of this, I don't know that I'm going to put up a visual version of the episode on the YouTube channel, but you're welcome to pull up the video and just kind of see what we're talking about as we go. Or you could just be here in the live chat, so welcome, live chat.
All right, so we've got Pumpkin joining us, and LilGreen, Nova, NoPhilnoThrill, Silas, Void, and Ebony Katie. Welcome back, everybody. So glad to have you all here. Are you ready?
Are you ready to go through this? This is going to be super fun. Everyone's giving me thumbs up. Everyone's ready to go.
This is going to be a little chaotic, because here's how this is going to work. I am going to put up the video. I'm going to play a little bit. I'm going to stop, and then you guys can just chime in.
You can say, hey, this is the thing I noticed in this scene, or this is something cool here. I think this is what this means. And we'll just kind of go from there. So let's get this started.
We're going to start off with the very beginning of it. The video's up, and here we go. I'm looking for someone. Common story around here.
Someone you care about or someone you hate. Oh, what a great question. What say you, Ms. McClellan?
All right, so the very, very beginning, they're in the desert. It's a ghoul. It's a... It's a halluc...
I was going to say her color juicy, but I didn't do that. Who wants to chime in? Any thoughts about this very beginning part in the desert? Phil, I saw Phil's hand.
I see Void's hand. Phil, start us off. Okay. My first crazy theory is I think we might have a cameo here from a person from Fallout New Vegas.
Yeah. I think the woman that is asking the question here might be Cass from New Vegas. Yes, I had a similar thought. I've seen some other people comment on this.
They're clearly talking to somebody, and it could be somebody from New Vegas. New Vegas is 15 years before the events of the show right here, so a lot of people could still be alive 15 years later. Void, did you have the same thought? No, I was more looking at the amount of blood on her clothes.
Okay. Because, yeah, she's bloody from this point and later in the trailer also. You can see all the blood on the front of her shirt. So I don't know if that's something that happened of the last episode of season one or something that's happened soon.
It's just a major note that I saw because that is quite a lot of blood staining on her clothes that shouldn't have come from a small wound. Yeah, I think it was part of what was on her because of the events of the first season, especially when she gets taken and almost experimented on and chopped up by the Mr. Handy, like that whole scene where things really start to get rough for her. She gets a lot of blood on her and she starts to have to fight back.
Remember that? I think there's scenes where she gets blood on her. And then because of the end of the season one, they just have to take off and start heading through the desert, which means that she didn't have time to get any new clothes or anything. So I think that's remnants from that.
But you're right. It is a lot of blood. Is it more blood than what was there before? I don't know.
Maybe. Maybe. Anybody else have thoughts on either of those two things? Cass or the amount of blood on her clothes?
I think it's probably from a fight she just got out of. You think it's a more recent event? Yeah, but we also saw in, well, I don't know if I want to spoil later in the trailer, but like, sure, there's this explosion where somebody quite literally just gets evaporated. And in theory, it could be pretty close after that.
Yeah, it could be. Could be. Who knows the series of things. The sense I get from this clip is that it's probably earlier in the season as they're getting closer and closer to New Vegas and they're coming across different groups and different people.
It would make sense that maybe they run into somebody like Cass. That could happen. She seems like a good character to bring in from New Vegas. I have a feeling they're gonna bring in a number of people that just kind of show up from that game.
And we do see, another spoiler for later in the trailer, we do see Victor from New Vegas later in the trailer too. Yes. Yes. Or at least it seems like it might be Victor because it's the same.
The only thing that really differentiates Victor visually from those other robots is the cowboy on his screen, right? But is that the same Victor? Is it a duplicate Victor? Are there multiple Victors?
Like, you could write in a whole lot of things that could throw that up in the air and make it different than what we might expect. So, I don't know. The simple answer would be, well, that is Victor and he's there. Yep.
No film. Go ahead. There are multiple Victors actually in the game. When you shoot the original Victor, you later see another one in house and reveals that Victor is a program that he can like activate.
Yeah, it's like there's a backup, if I recall. Victor has a backup and then he ends up in another body, but it's technically the same Victor, like memory-wise. So, yeah, there could be complexity on that. Like, is that the same or is it, you know, how does that work?
For sure. Well, here, let's keep going with the trailer. Let's get to the little stinger here with the Prime. This is gonna demonetize me.
I'm gonna cut in a little bit. I don't wanna get kicked off of Spotify here. Why would my dad go to Las Vegas? You wanna know why the world ended?
It started here with one man. It's all over. Alright, so we've got the scene of the desert going up to New Vegas and the desolation, how busted everything is. Everything's busted up.
A reference to why would her father want to go to New Vegas? Well, it all started with one man. Clearly, he's talking about House, or at least seems to be talking about House. What do you guys think?
Silas, go for it. And feel free to just chime in. If we both chime in at the same time, then we'll figure it out as we go. But go ahead.
I've got a feeling that it's gonna try to go a little more into who actually started the war. Because, like, the way it sounds, you know, it makes it sound like he was a very big proponent in the actual start. Because, I mean, it makes sense with him having so much knowledge leading up to it with the Platinum chip and getting his place all fortified and everything. Well, yeah, somehow House predicted the date within a day of the bomb dropping.
So he has knowledge about something that would help with that prediction. Now, why or how isn't exactly explained in the game, as far as I recall. He was at the Vault-Tec meetings, wasn't he? Yes, in season one, he is in a meeting with Vault-Tec.
He's among the other powerful, like, corporate CEOs and conglomerate people. So that's a piece of it. So he's clearly plugged in. He's clearly, if not part of the Enclave and Vault-Tec and that web of connected individuals, he's at least, you know, tangentially related to them in some way.
Has done business with them or something. So there's something going on there with that. It almost makes me believe that House is the one that fired the bombs. Because of how much he has around Vegas.
But he was wrong by one day. Looks like it's not fully under control by House and protected the way it previously was. Yeah. So maybe there's something catastrophic that happened.
Yeah, this will give us a canon ending to New Vegas, if I'm correct, right? I think a lot of people are expecting it to. There's been a lot of speculation around, well, if this is what this is telling us and this is what, and we'll get to some of that stuff, then it has to be this ending or has to be this ending. Let's keep moving, because we've got to get through this whole trailer.
I'm sure we're going to have a lot more to say. So, on to the next part. So I'm gonna lower the sound here because I don't want to get demonetized, but it's showing us back in time. Write yourself, I am the very best at what I do.
And what I do is I know everything. All right, so what do you all think about House here? It's a different actor than it was in Season 1, by the way. Okay, I actually like the look of the new House.
I actually really like how he looks. It definitely feels more like House. The first time we see him in Season 1, he felt a little too, like, a bit young for House. Okay.
But this one feels very like, this feels very well. Like, we all know that he was based off of Hefner. Yes, yeah, House, in fact, a number of different characters, are all based off of Hugh Hefner and a combination of him and like Walt Disney and like some other people. So they all have very similar, like, slicked dark black hair, funny little mustache, like that kind of stuff, which was stylish in the 50s and 60s.
This one feels a lot more like that. Like, the first one didn't really give that feel to it, but this one's 100% giving me house vibes. Like the Hugh Hefner house. Right.
I like that we get scenes of Cooper and his wife in the car going to Las Vegas, and clearly he meets with House. Clearly he meets with House because of some sort of connection with him promoting Vault-Tec and being a celebrity or something. Something brings them there. Probably a trip with his wife because she works with Vault-Tec.
So all of that kind of stuff makes sense. We get this little scene where Lucy's waking up and there's, she's in a room, and if you notice the mat on the floor, that's the tops. That symbol, like that spoken, I don't know, I don't know what to call that, but it's like a little star. Is that what it's called?
Is that a roulette wheel? I'm pretty sure it looks like a roulette wheel. It looks like a mobile that you would hang that would have like planets on the ends of each of those points. That's what it reminds me of.
But there's also a... Give me a buttercup next to her. And there's some sort of painted in scene behind her. Is this at the casino?
Where do you think this is? So the scene behind her got, this was pointed out by a friend of mine in Pumpkins. It looks to be the same scene that the projector was projecting inside the vault. Yes, in the vault.
You're right. You're right. In season one, in the vault, it was projecting this cornfield and the farmhouse. What if, what if somebody who knows everything, knows what her vault was like and created a room to make her feel comfortable at the tops?
Or he has his own vault. Yeah, or well, he probably, in fact, he does have his own vault, right? Oh, I didn't know that. I haven't played New Vegas.
So what is a vault? What's the vault there on the strip that gets turned into a casino? 22. 22.
22. Sorry. Yeah, I always forget the numbers. Is it 22 or 21?
I think it's 21. 21. 22 is the plant vault. Okay, 21.
Yeah, so vault 21 on the strip, if House is in control of that or if he ends up at that vault. I don't know. There's also a dress there that like is hanging on a thing, which what is a brand new thing of sugar bombs? The sugar bombs is like, stands out like a sore thumb to me.
But looks to be a hot plate on top of the dresser. Yeah, it seems, it almost looks like a set instead of an actual hotel room. That's what me and Void were thinking when we first watched it. It felt like a movie set.
Yeah, yeah. So here, let's move forward a little bit. We've got that scene. Then we have Victor, or at least what looks like Victor, right?
Cowboy face on the robot. And then we have Cooper in the back, the ghoul. It's clearly now not the past. So what's going on here?
If you look at the poster behind Cooper, that is also a NCR ranger. Asking to join them. Yep, and on the left, there's the NCR flag up on the wall. This has to be the casino.
The Lucky 38. You think this is the Lucky 38? Yeah. It could be.
Because I'm looking at the ceiling and like just the light fixtures and stuff like that. And like everything's under construction almost. So like, it's been a while since I've played New Vegas, but I remember it's just not a lot being inside because like no one was allowed in there. Yeah, so he falls out of the Lucky 38 in a later part of the trailer.
Is that the Lucky 38? No, he does not. It's not the Wrangler. It's a Wrangler.
It's a Wrangler. Okay, I'm sorry. I missed that. It's a Wrangler.
My theory for what it was, for what's in the scene, is it's the embassy after the NCR has fallen. Oh. Okay. Okay, that makes more sense.
That makes a lot more sense. That would kind of give me the vibe. No, that makes a lot more sense. There would be no NCR stuff in the Lucky 38, so.
Yeah. Okay. It's a little bit more disheveled because I feel like even though there was no one in the Lucky 38, it was more put together. Well, it depends.
Like if an NCR, if you have an NCR being successful kind of ending to New Vegas, then they may continue to take over more of the strip and these other locations. Also, this is not the casino. There's windows. And there's windows.
You're right. You're right. There's windows. There's windows.
Unless this is the Atomic Wrangler. It could be the Wrangler. That could be it. Okay, so let's move.
Let's go to House and his view here with the gigantic screen. The thing that just like, oh my God. Like this is right out of the game. This whole thing.
I don't, they probably didn't build this. This has got to be CGI, right? Because this screen is ridiculous. CRT screens don't get that big as far as I remember.
But that's great that this thing actually exists here. Now there are windows behind it, so the placement is a little different than it is in the game. Because it's in kind of like a closed off room, if I recall correctly. But that it doesn't mean that you couldn't have multiple of these little workstations.
You know, he's freaking house. So I don't know if there's anything else on that clip. So here, let's get to the next section. Let's move this forward a little bit.
Oh yeah, go ahead. The big question is that we see Victor, it means House is alive, right? Does it have to mean House is alive? There's a Victor ending where House doesn't survive, right?
Is there? I think so. Independent of Vegas, Victor survives, but House doesn't necessarily. I thought that was a yes man.
Oh, was it Yes Man? Oh man, I'm confusing the two. Oh no. Yes, that's Yes Man.
Victor disappears if you kill House, so. What if House sends Victor to bring the ghoul and Lucy to him, similar like he did with the courier? Maybe, maybe. I think that would be fun.
It's already implied that Hank is after House. It's implied. Or whoever is in charge. What would House do, probably knowing that Hank is going after him?
Possibly. Is he trying to kill House or is he using the anti-technology? I don't know. That's a good question.
Yeah, I got Victor and Yes Man mixed up on that ending. You're right. Victor disappears and we don't know what happens to him. Yes Man can survive.
And in some situations you either kill House or you disconnect him. That's kind of what goes on. Maybe this is what happened. Maybe he got disconnected and then he managed to get reconnected later.
Maybe, maybe. This is one of the things that, and by the way, Logan, I think you're unmuted. We're getting little sounds when you move around. Yeah, thank you.
This is one of the things that whenever I watch other people do these speculation videos about this kind of stuff, they will always jump to the shortest version of the answer. It's like, okay, if the last thing we saw was Victor disappeared, then Victor is alive somewhere. Okay, well he was alive 15 years ago by. That doesn't, like, if I was writing this story, that doesn't mean that I couldn't write in.
They find, you know, his remains somewhere because something happened off camera. You know, like, whenever you have a huge time gap, other things can happen that you can then explain that they happened. So, yes, if something can't happen, then it can't happen. But if something could possibly happen, even if it's unlikely, it's still possible.
So, It looks like Lucy is captured here. You guys get that sense? Yep. Lucy being captured?
Yeah, probably. I have a feeling that the person we see from behind, very clearly, he's the leader of the group. In the leader clip where we see the whole group? Yeah, let's jump to that because where was that on the timeline?
122. 122. That's right. That's real close.
This one, yeah, okay. It wasn't showing up in my little preview. Yes, okay, so I have a theory about this too. What do you think about the group with the Legion standing there and all the different Legions?
Also, by the way, I love that they're wearing football pads still. Can I just say who the actor is and I can prove it? No, okay, let me do it for you. Okay, go ahead.
Go ahead. Okay, so one, I'm convinced that that's the Legate, 100%. Okay. And now I'm gonna bring this up before I mention that I'm pretty sure.
So we know Macaulay Culkin is in this season. Yes. Macaulay Culkin is playing this season. I am convinced 100% without a doubt that Macaulay Culkin is the Legate.
Yeah, I think it is him. I agree. And I've seen the pictures where people have posted the back of his head and his ears look the same. Yes.
I'm like, that's absolutely Macaulay Culkin, which is a wonderful casting for this. Now, what makes you think it's the Legate? The armor. The armor is 100% Legate.
Little pokey things on the shoulders? Yeah, the pokey thing, it's got the muscly armor. But it is the Legion. If somebody else took him out and took his armor, then it could be a different person.
Well, the Legate is just a title. The Legate is whoever wears the, who is ever in that position. Okay, but do you think it's the same one? What was his name in Vegas?
Probably. Lanius, maybe not. Because wasn't Joshua Graham considered a Legate as well before he got thrown off? Was he?
Was he, yeah, of the same rank? I don't remember the rank. But Lanius took over after he left the two men. Okay, okay.
So it's just a rank. Right, so it would make sense that he's the Legate. I was thinking Lanius, or Lanius, however you pronounce his name, that it's the same person as that, which would mean that he's fairly old. I'm not sure that that's, that tracks with Macaulay Culkin.
Macaulay Culkin is kind of around, maybe not around the same age, but... He's got to be what? Like 45, 50 years old? So maybe?
Maybe. Something like that. Something like that? Yeah, it could be.
It could be. I also love that the other Legionaries, they have this regular-looking freaking sunglasses on and football pads and metal pieces and things like that. They did them so well. You guys agree?
Could they have done this better? 100%. Especially since there is a line in, I'm pretty sure there's a line in New Vegas of a character going, yeah, they wear football pads, whatever. Yes, yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely. All right, so we've got that. We've got Maximus here, zoomed in on his face. We have, oh, we have the first scene with the big old dino in the background.
Who wants to chime in? Who hasn't talked yet? Who has thoughts on this? Because this is Novak.
I can't see it. You haven't moved it. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Silas, what are you thinking? So, this kind of leads into my whole overarching theory about this whole season. I think that Lucy and the Ghoul are going to be doing some quests that the Courier does in the show. Oh, they're going to be retracing his steps.
So, they will probably canonize, like, the final ending with whatever house and whatnot, but I do think that they are specifically not having the Courier do everything that they can do. So, I think here and later in the trailer, it shows someone getting sniped from the mouth of the dinosaur. Do you think it's still Boone? I am not sure because they do show a scene with Lucy in the mouth with the rifle, but it does make me think that it possibly could be, you know?
Could be. I don't know how sharpshooter Lucy is. I know she's good at shooting guns because she did in the vault, but... Yeah, or maybe they get attacked while they're there, and so she runs up there in order to give him cover while he fights everybody on the ground.
It could be something as simple as that. Or maybe that was the only safe place to go. There's a scene later where the guy gets thrown in the pool and explodes. Maybe they're coming out of the action, maybe whoever the bad guys are in that situation, I'm not sure what they are or who they are.
But maybe they're inside the little motel itself, and so she runs into the dinosaur for cover and ends up in the top and maybe shooting down at people. I don't know. But yeah, maybe this covers some of the same spots. Silas, I have a similar theory.
Very, very similar, but I'll say that later at the end. You sure? You don't want to just share it? Oh, I'm going to say the Courier never happened.
Oh, wow. Okay. Because I feel like if the Courier was there, the Legion wouldn't be there. Or, like, all the factions...
Something massive would have happened. So, like, if war is coming, that's Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam never happened. Or maybe it did, and somebody's trying to take it back.
Or, because my thing is, like, if war is coming, Hoover Dam never happened, and now the sparks have been lit. Because someone tips the scales. That is my thing. So, this is just the canon ending for Fallout.
It doesn't affect what will happen with New Vegas, because it's a whole different timeline now. Maybe. I mean, that could happen. Another way to interpret that war is coming and that everyone's getting all uppity and into each other's business is maybe something happens to house, and he's not there to maintain the peace anymore.
And so now it's just open season on the strip, and everybody's trying to get a piece. That could be a piece of it, too. That's what's so interesting about all this, is it could go any of these directions, right? Like, your idea, this idea, any of these ideas could happen.
So that's fun. Because my whole thing with, like, the canon endings is, like, you're the player. You're, like, we are not in this series. So, like, everything that happens in, like, DC, like, doesn't happen because, like, the player's not there.
The decisions aren't made. So they're just making their own ending to it in their own way. Maybe. So, like, everything is set up, and everything's been boiling over.
But, like, now, because the ghoul and Susie are there, the spark, like, the fuse is lit, and now everything's running. So they are taking the role of the courier. Yes, they are now the player. They are the player.
They are the courier in this situation. Yes. Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
Here, let's move it forward a little bit. We've got scenes of Cooper's wife at the Vault-Tec location. Cooper and his daughter. They're reminding us that he had a family, that maybe his daughter's still out there somewhere.
Who knows? Keep your loved ones safe with him and the thumbs up, reminding us about all that stuff. Feel like that's all pretty obvious kinds of pieces, right? There's not a whole lot hidden in there.
It just seems kind of obvious. Yes. Boyd, do you have anything else, or are you ready to move on? You good?
Okay, cool. Here, let's keep it going. I think you are actually quite a violent man. You just don't want to kill me.
Yet. Okay, so what does that mean? Why would Cooper, in the past, before he has to become a violent individual to survive the wasteland, want to murder House? Was House doing something that would make him want to kill him?
Because House launched the bombs. But this is before the bombs dropped, right? So he doesn't necessarily know that yet. I think Cooper at 6, he drops the bomb, or Mike drops the bombs.

So maybe he reveals to Cooper that he has a plan to bring about the end of the world, This location, still in his power armor. Now, like I've stated before, it doesn't necessarily mean that he went directly from the end of season one, kept his power armor on the whole time and into this location. He may take it off and on, and this could be later on where he has to put it back on because he has to venture out through somewhere dangerous in order to get to this location, right? There could be lots of other variables happening in between.
But it seems to imply that this is the location that he was headed to when he left at the end of season one. You guys get the sense of that? Silas, you're nodding. You feel like that might be accurate?
And it makes sense that he's going to another Vault-Tec location because he might know people there or know what technology is there that can help him or whatever that he's trying to do. I don't know. I don't have anything else. I don't have anything else on this specific scene.
Would this maybe be at the Big Empty? Underground Big Empty? I don't know. The Big Empty is also thought to be, I'm pretty sure, much further east, isn't it?
Yeah, it's not exactly in California. Yeah, it's... Then in Donald, then it's much farther west. It would be farther west, yeah.
So then, yeah, this would not be Big Empty. Yeah, unless it's later on, like maybe at the end of the season, he leaves New Vegas and heads over there for something. Maybe, I don't know. Sometimes they'll do that.
They'll put things in a trailer that happen, like, later on in the season or at the end of the movie. And so you kind of get everything out of order in your head and you're like, well, maybe this happens earlier, but it doesn't. Well, here, let's keep going. Okay, so a few things pop up in this little section.
We have Maximus riding in a Vertibird with somebody who's smiling too. This is, what was his name? The actor's name fell out of my brain. He's a funny guy.
He was in one of the Ghostbusters movies recently. He was in Eternals. You know what I'm talking about? Kamal Nanjiani, is it?
Is that his name? You guys don't know? I don't think that's him. I think that that's actually the guy who plays Superman in, was it Supergirl and Superman and Lois?
Is it? I think it's Kamal. But maybe I'm wrong. I heard some speculation, though, that he is the Brotherhood soldier who saves Maximus when Maximus was a child.
And that's going to be, like, a fun little twist here. Like, oh, they end up paired up. Maybe. I mean...
He could be 40. And Maximus, we know, is, like, early 20s. I don't know. I don't know.
Okay, so we got that. We've got some more, like, walking around in power armor. We've got some explosions and snowy field. Is this snowy?
Is this Alaska? Anchorage. Is this Anchorage, Alaska? Operation Anchorage.
No, it's Jacobstown. It's Jacobstown? I don't know. Because we have that.
We have a soldier walking. This looks like T-45. And then we see Cooper in the armor. So it looks like we're getting flashbacks to his time in the service, probably serving in Operation Anchorage.
That seems pretty obvious. I think that's T-51B. Is it T-51B? It looks like 45.
The helmet. The helmet. It's the helmet of the 51. You can see it on the shoulders.
The T-51 doesn't have the loops on the shoulders. Yeah, the little holes on the shoulder sides. That's what you're right, yeah. That's what makes me think 51B.
It only makes it feel like 51B. Yeah, like what you're saying. It looks much more rounded than it should be, but the other are the shoulders. It's the shoulders.
Yeah, from what I've gotten it from this, is that we're also going to be seeing a lot of the Battle at Anchorage, which I'm really looking forward to. Well, we're at least getting a flashback, if not a lot. A flashback. I would like to see a bit of it, yeah.
That's what makes this show so awesome. I've been dying for more pre-war content that's not a snapshot of a terminal. Actual video is fantastic. Right, right.
All right, let's move on to the next scene. Okay, this is the scene where Cooper blows up a guy in a pool and then tips his hat, seemingly looking at Lucy, I would guess. And I don't know that we can tell who this is that fell into the pool, but there are other bodies around. He had to kill a bunch of people at Novak.
What's going on with that? I'm not really sure. It feels like it's an early thing. Like, as they approach the strip, they have to go through some of these locations.
Kind of like what Logren was saying. Almost like the courier. And they just end up in these situations where they'd have to deal with stuff. I also think that the thing that's in the pool that hangs off over the diving board, I'm fairly certain that that is a gallows.
Yes, I think you're right. I think that that is a gallows. It looks like Novak has been taken over by some group. Is this a raider group?
Is this the Khans? Are these ghouls? It's so zoomed out, we can't really tell. And then we can see the body parts getting blown around after the explosion, but that's about it.
At least Lucy doesn't look too happy about this whole killing everybody thing. I can see she's got one carbide, though. Yeah, so going through when he grabs the grenade, going through that very slowly, the person behind him, behind the guy who had the grenade, has a bandolier on that is full of rounds. And they've got a trench coat on.
I don't know if that's describing any group in particular. Yeah, it could be anybody, because anybody can take that gear and use it. It does sound a little like an NCR ranger, but I'm not sure that that's for sure. Also, dogmeat is still here, so that's good.
Good old dogs. Everybody loves dogs. All right, let's keep this going. Let's get lucky, shall we?
Okay, so what's the deal with the chicken guy? Why is the chicken guy back? What's he doing? Any theories on this?
If you've got chickens, he's here to... I'm not going to get into that. Yeah, I don't know. But then we get the scene where...
You're right, you're right. He's falling out of the Wrangler casino building. All right, so this scene, we absolutely have to pause on, because it looks like the Brotherhood is fighting against the Brotherhood. Am I wrong, or am I right?
I absolutely agree. It looks like the Brotherhood has a civil war going on. Also, this was for me a big shocker. The Brotherhood has at least four airships.
Yes, and this goes back to my other point, is that just because we only see a limited amount of stuff in the games doesn't mean that they aren't more developed and bigger than we've seen. So, does each airship represent a different group of the Brotherhood or a different leader with a different agenda? I don't think so, because it looks like it's two on two. Okay, because there's two on the right and two on the left, and it looks like there's both going back and forth.
One of them does crash. He's coming from the right, though, so that wouldn't make much sense, because it's not going to turn mid-flight. It's not going to turn if it got shot down. Unless it took out some of the engines, and one half of the engines are working, so it starts spinning as it falls, right?
Like, aircraft can do that. But if that's not the case, then it does appear like it's coming from the group. Now it's a three on one scenario. So maybe you're right about that.
I don't know. You had something you wanted to chime in. I think this is... So, in Fallout tactics, in the very beginning of it, you see multiple blimps going from Vault Zero.
I think this is East Coast and West Coast Brotherhood fighting each other. It could be. It could be. What do you think they're fighting over?
Wait, Hank leaves and gets the... whatever the thing is. The MacGuffin from Season 1. The cold fusion thing.
Does the Brotherhood get a hold of that, and that incites a civil war where one group wants it from the other group? Maybe something like that? I believe it does, because I think the Enclave is controlling Maximus' ship. Oh, like they've been compromised.
Yeah. Interesting. Which is why they were involved with trying to get the cold fusion thing back in the first season. Because they never say who on high gave that command.
Yeah, that could be true. Yeah. Okay. Any other thoughts on this one?
I think it's the Brotherhood group that was abandoned. Because we know that they're there, but we don't know what resources they really have. The ones from New Vegas? Yeah.
It's like you come across them, and they're in a random bunker. Right. And so maybe there was a rift for some reason, and they just got... like, why'd you leave us here?
And now they're just trying to take over. That would never happen. Oh, wait. Yes, it does.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it could be that, but it's just like, if they had the airships, where were they? That's really it. But it might be stationed at different bases around the country, and they all converge at this location Producer of a TV series standpoint, and if you were to include the Kings, because fans are going to want to have them show up, and they're just a bunch of Elvis-looking regular dudes, that's not particularly exciting or interesting.
In fact, it feels kind of weird. But if you Google-ify them, that feels very Fallout-y to an audience that has only ever seen the first season of Fallout. Does that make sense? It's kind of pushing it.
Yeah, you've got the entrance to the Tops right behind him. Yeah, it's an ANN entrance to the Tops, and there's some other little signs up there that are advertising some other things next to the Tops. I'm not sure what those are, but then outside of this is like broken down cars and what look like trailers and things like that. So I don't think this is like the main entrance, but this may be another, maybe like a gift shop or something outside the strip.
It doesn't feel like it's on the strip. The ground is all dirt. So I'm not really sure about that one. There's also another small clip, a Securetron with, I'm willing to bet that tank in the power armor.
On his back, he's wearing a super sledge. Okay. So at some point, we're going to see a super sledge. Right, we can only really tell by the handle, because it looks like a fuel tank.
Yeah, yeah, I like that. I like the inclusion of these very specific Fallout weapons. I think that's smart. We also get, in the very next scene, this is where we get the Deathclaw.
Hold on, let me get it just right, so you guys can see it. Put the sound back on. How good is that? What do you guys think about the Deathclaw?
I'm seeing a lot of nodding. Oh my god. I love it. That is exactly what I envisioned.
When Logan and I and a couple of our buddies all watched it at the same time, I remember just throwing my arms up and screaming, yes! Because finally we're seeing it. We all wanted to see it in season one, and just that sort of entrance for a Deathclaw is the best way to introduce a Deathclaw. Yeah, it's shot like a movie monster, right?
Like you see the claw, you see a little bit of a horn, you see the claw, and it very easily dents into the vehicle that the thing is climbing on, whatever this is. And then it, like you see, just a very zoomed in of the face, and almost like cataract-looking eye, and the scales and everything. It's also in the dark. What if, if so, like Lil Green's theory and some of you guys have said, if they're following the route of the courier and they try to go north instead of going south and east and then up to the strip, then they're going to come across Deathclaws.
Do you think this is in that route, or is this a Deathclaw on the strip? Because at the end of season one, there were some hints. There was the skull, there were some Deathclaw marks that looked like the strip had actually had Deathclaws in it for some reason. This is a Deathclaw on the strip.
I'm going to tell you that right now. It's on the strip. Because, hold on, in one of the scenes, you see them, hold on, they kill someone in front of the Gamora. Oh, yes, yes.
And those lights are still right behind it, and they're right in front of that car. Hold on. Yeah, yeah, the little individual lights that are kind of orangey. It also shows them running in front of a building, whereas if you look at like certain, like majority of that area where the Deathclaws are with Sloane, it's just a quarry.
Yeah. But I'm looking at, because when they had the explosion in front of the Gamora, they're in front of a car. And they're both right next to each other as the explosion goes off. So this could just be right after that.
Yeah, I think. With the Deathclaw. I think that is possible. Right there.
Okay. I just skipped over it. Yeah, the little orangey-looking bulb lights that are around the windows of Gamora. That could be part of this.
And then when you look at the, like, as the Deathclaw gets its claws on the top of the car, there's that orange glow in front of it that's front lighting, like front lighting them, of a fire. So it's like, I feel like that's a dead giveaway. Like, whatever explosion just happens, they fall to the ground. Like, oh, fight's done.
No, it's not. Yeah, I think you're right. I think that there's something else going on. This is the saloon on the top of the quarter.
I don't remember that being on the strip anywhere. Saloon? On which one? If it being a show, it will be different from the game, so the strip will be located.
There will be stuff added to it. Things will be in slightly different locations. Yeah. And trenches and stuff are in memory, because that's definitely a thing.
Also, when we first saw it, me and Jeremy both agreed that this was a very, like, looking at the Deathclaw felt like seeing Smaug for the first time. Yeah. In was it The Hobbit? Yes, at the end of The Hobbit, yeah.
That's what it felt like. Yeah, I see the saloon picture on the scene, on the top left now. It's like, ooh, and something ABC saloon or something like that. Yeah, I was thinking too.
